It is scheduled, for release on 16th July 2024 through Mountain Records.

Here a press release from the artist.

Written by Robin in 1980 as a comment on the apartheid policies of the Nationalist party governing South Africa, "Leon" first appeared on Auld's debut album "At the corner" and was played by maverick radio presenter Chris Prior. 

After the formation of the band Z-Astaire,  the song was re-visited for the bands 2nd album "Ocean Motion". Produced by Kevin Shirley and released by independent Cape Town label Mountain Records, the album produced several top ten hits including the enduring No 1 radio hit "All of woman". 

Now the song, with some mix and master updates, will be re-released digitally as "Oh Leon".  The single goes out ahead of the forthcoming album release, with "Violent Stairs" from the first album as the B-Side.

McCully/Mackay Prog Rock project

Terence McCullagh aka. Tully McCully, has pulled in keyboard specialist Gordon Mackay to partner with him on his first solo album.  Tully and Gordon have performed together in McCully Workshop, but what they are offering this time is very different to the sort of music they do in their band.  Tully started out recording this new material on his own and then saw that it would be appropriate to have an instrument that is featured in solos and special parts of the songs. Tully is a multi-instrumentalist with bass and guitar being his specialities.   Adding Gordon, who is  classically schooled and a  virtuoso electric keyboard player, provided just the right additional elements required for the musical style they are recording.
